Vetted Observability Professionals

“Built a production, real-time clinical documentation system at HCA that converts doctor–patient conversations into structured clinical summaries using speech-to-text, LLM summarization, and RAG. Demonstrated measurable gains from medical-domain fine-tuning (clinical concept recall +18%, ROUGE-L 0.62 to 0.74) while meeting HIPAA constraints via PHI anonymization and encryption, and deployed via Docker/FastAPI with CI/CD and monitoring.”
